This drug formulation works by combining three different mechanisms: neutralizing stomach acid, reducing gas formation, and promoting bowel movements. Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide act as antacids, directly reacting with stomach acid to reduce its acidity. Dimethicone reduces gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, helping to alleviate bloating and discomfort. Magnesium hydroxide also acts as a mild laxative, promoting bowel movements to relieve constipation.
